Not for

Reproduction

• Check fuel lines, tank, cap, and fittings frequently for cracks or leaks. Replace if

necessary.

• If fuel spills, wait until it evaporates before starting engine.

When Starting Engine

• Ensure that spark plug, muffler, fuel cap and air cleaner (if equipped) are in place

and secured.

• Do not crank engine with spark plug removed.

• If engine floods, set choke (if equipped) to OPEN / RUN position, move throttle (if

equipped) to FAST position and crank until engine starts.

When Operating Equipment

• Do not tip engine or equipment at angle which causes fuel to spill.

• Do not choke the carburetor to stop engine.

• Never start or run the engine with the air cleaner assembly (if equipped) or the air

filter (if equipped) removed.

When Changing Oil

• If you drain the oil from the top oil fill tube, the fuel tank must be empty or fuel can

leak out and result in a fire or explosion.

When Tipping Unit for Maintenance

• When performing maintenance that requires the unit to be tipped, the fuel tank, if

mounted on the engine, must be empty or fuel can leak out and result in a fire or

explosion.

When Transporting Equipment

• Transport with fuel tank EMPTY or with fuel shut-off valve in the CLOSED position.

When Storing Fuel Or Equipment With Fuel In Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other appliances that have pilot

lights or other ignition sources because they can ignite fuel vapors.

WARNING

Starting engine creates sparking.

Sparking can ignite nearby flammable gases.

Explosion and fire could result.

• If there is natural or LP gas leakage in area, do not start engine.

• Do not use pressurized starting fluids because vapors are flammable.

WARNING

POISONOUS GAS HAZARD. Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a

poisonous gas that could kill you in minutes. You CANNOT see it, smell it, or taste

it. Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be exposed to carbon

monoxide gas. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using this product,

get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. See a doctor. You may have carbon monoxide

poisoning.

• Operate this product ONLY outside far away from windows, doors and vents to reduce

the risk of carbon monoxide gas from accumulating and potentially being drawn

towards occupied spaces.

• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or plug-in carbon monoxide alarms

with battery back-up according to the manufacturer's instructions. Smoke alarms

cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.

• DO NOT run this product inside homes, garages, basements, crawlspaces, sheds,

or other partially-enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors and windows

for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can quickly build up in these spaces and can linger

for hours, even after this product has shut off.

• ALWAYS place this product downwind and point the engine exhaust away from

occupied spaces.

WARNING

Rapid retraction of starter cord (kickback) will pull hand and arm toward engine

faster than you can let go.

Broken bones, fractures, bruises or sprains could result.

• When starting engine, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull

rapidly to avoid kickback.

• Remove all external equipment / engine loads before starting engine.

• Direct-coupled equipment components such as, but not limited to, blades, impellers,

pulleys, sprockets, etc., must be securely attached.

WARNING

Rotating parts can contact or entangle hands, feet, hair, clothing, or accessories.

Traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

• Operate equipment with guards in place.

• Keep hands and feet away from rotating parts.

• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.

• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing, dangling drawstrings or items that could become

caught.

WARNING

Running engines produce heat. Engine parts, especially muffler, become extremely

hot.

Severe thermal burns can occur on contact.

Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass, brush, etc. can catch fire.

• Allow muffler, engine cylinder and fins to cool before touching.

• Remove accumulated debris from muffler area and cylinder area.

• It is a violation of California Public Resource Code, Section 4442, to use or operate

the engine on any forest-covered, brush-covered, or grass-covered land unless the

exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester, as defined in Section 4442,

maintained in effective working order. Other states or federal jurisdictions may have

similar laws. Contact the original equipment manufacturer, retailer, or dealer to obtain

a spark arrester designed for the exhaust system installed on this engine.

WARNING

Unintentional sparking can result in fire or electric shock.

Unintentional start-up can result in entanglement, traumatic amputation, or

laceration.

Fire hazard
